The Way Around

Beschreibung

More absurd, horrifying, and downright inexplicable shorts from the author of "The Man Who Stands in Line." Included are such soon-to-be classics as Buzz-Saw Bob, the sport of pendulum watching, yet another secret to ultimate success, the art of gasping, a neighbor who is definitely not Mr. Rogers, and Buddha’s morning commute. I legally can’t promise that this book will transform you into the demiurge you were meant to be. All I can say is that no medical studies have proved otherwise and the FDA moves very slowly.

Autor

K.M. Halpern was born in New York and, after spending far too much time there, finally returned to the Cambridge, MA he knew and loved from graduate school. Unfortunately, all that remained was a large Starbucks, several thousand bank branches, and two small universities whose names he forgets. He divides his time between ill-considered technical endeavors and ill-considered literary ones. His current projects include a fourth book of very short works (*The Late Worm*), the second novel in *The Tale of Rin* series, a book of pretentious and largely dystopian short stories (*You May Feel a Small Prick*), and a stage-play about a man whose wife vanishes.K.M. also spends a disturbing amount of time coping with physicsitis, a disease characterized by massive lacunae in one's math knowledge. Oddly enough, for each gap filled three new ones appear. No doubt, this phenomenon easily could be explained through copious hand-waving, a quick and dirty approximation, and a brief, uninformative review of basic math everyone should know but somehow never learned in high school. Unfortunately, K.M. is too busy misunderstanding other areas of math to attend to that.K.M. holds a PhD in theoretical physics from MIT, more commonly known as 'that odd cluster of concrete buildings on the Charles River.'
